him Of his danger. In an interview
to-day DR.. Sewers says: at may BE-

apprised of the Presidents condition, and
while it is in no sense dangerous it will
not be long before there will be reason
for alarm. President Cleveland is large,
heshy man, and since he came to the
White House mas gained enormously in
flesh. Now, when be was in Buffalo it was
his habit to take walks. Since he came
here he has abandoned all form Of
exercise save carriage riding. That is of
little or no use. with the springs now in
use and the smooth streets for which
Washington is famous. The Presidents is
man who works with his head s great
deal, Is in fact an intense brain worker.
He is in other words a plOdder, and his
brain is consequently filed with an
excess of blood. What is the
result? He works with his head,
Keats enormously, and fails to
exercise his muscles. His blood yes
sells are weakened, and it is only a ques-
ton OF time when in moment OF excite
ment he bursts blood vessel. tell you
at the rate President Cleveland is now
living there is great danger he will not
live throughout his term. Something
should be done to bring him to realize his
danger and take proper steps to
prevent the result which will surely
eDsue if he fails to take proper exercise.
What | should recommend would be the
fixing up Of room in the White House
and the setting apart of half hour
every day for gymnastlc exercise. That
alone, in my opinion, will prevent q
catastrophe, the avoidance of which not
only the President but the country at
large is interested in securing.

Ohautauqua Assembly Grounds Burned

JAMESTOWN, N. Y, March 2l.-A fire
at the Chautauqua Assembly grounds
early this morning destroyed eighty
buildings, including several large board
ing houses. The total loss Will probablg
exceed 500, 600. The buildings and cot
tages are of wood and are close together.
The fire spread rapidly, and tbs
lack of fire apparatus and the search
ty of help favored the flames.
About sixty families remain on the
grounds during the winter season. Citi-
zens from Maysville and the surrounding
towns arrived on the scene and greatly
aided the residents. The fire swept every
thing before 1t, taking both sides Of
Simpson and Summertield avenues from
the Auditorium to the the hotel Athene-
um. The heroic work of the winter
residents and the farmers from the sur
rounding country undoubtedly prevented
the total destruction of the entire assem-
bly,, with its costly buildings and cottages.
All the cottages and boarding houses in
the burned district were furnished and
equipped and very little furniture was
saved,

ST. PAUL, MINI, March 81 The Man

feat in construction in 1887 that has ever

ager Manvelle: It is proposed 10 build
$50 miles from the western end of the
Maditoba Road to Great Falls, NJ T,
and ninety miles from Great Falls
to Helens. This extraordinary
step is made necessary because of thu ne
gotiations with the Northern Pacific Rail
road. This latter road, which was the
only one that could transport rails to the
other end of the proposed route SO as to
enable the Manitoba to build from both
ends at the same time, placed such heavy
freight upon the transportation
rails that it amounted to prohibition

NEW YORK, March 21.-The Herald
publishes letter from Archbishop Lynch
of Toronto to Lord Randolph Churchill
on the Irish question. The Archbishop
elOquenlly begs Churchill to study the
Irish question root and branch, in & spirit
Of justice TO eli men. The distinguished
prelate then enters upon lengthy review
OF the land question, and points out the
lamentabie lnadequacY Of the recent law,
appointing commission to regulate Irish
rents. His description Of the heartless
evictiOns being carried on in the dead of
winter with the aid of the mill
tary against helpless women and
innocent childr,n, is graphic and
telling Picturiug the deception
IL the British government in its pretenses
OF IudiciallY adjusting rents, while ct the
same time it Iends It's sOldiery to evict
thousands Of tenants. The Archbishop
declares, "WhOm the gods wish to destroy
they -tuitity," and says there are unmis-
taxable signs in England Of growing
TolcanO whiCb,b trusts, English prudence
Will avert. Referring to the cruel evic-
tlOns going on he observes: GLOW the
English Journals would with hypoCritical
zeal glOat over and publish the inhu-
mainly of such horrid deeds were they

How the Pope would be called monster
of iniQuity, murderer of nis people, if
during his temporal power he had per-
mitted such depopularon. The Arch
bishop closes by dwelling upon the in
huence and importance of the Irish votes
in the politics of America and Australia,
and points out that the Irish already hold
the balance of power in this country, and
intimates tbs: this fact may ST no distant
